Scott Snowling was a trainee professional at Norwich at the same time as Ade Akinbiyi, Deryn Brace, Jamie Cureton, Andy Johnson, Andy Marshall and Glyn Roberts. Whilst all of them went on to make league appearances, not necessarily for Norwich, Scott suffered injury problems and drifted into Norfolk's non-league football scene with Wroxham - the popular destination for many ex-Canaries (Peter Mendham, Jon Rigby, Mark Crowe etc.).

In September 1998, Scott joined Anglian Combination side Caister in an attempt to regain his fitness. Obviously achieving his goal, he joined Gorleston of the Eastern Counties League Premier Division in November 1998. In the summer of 2000, he returned to Trafford Park as Wroxham attempted to regain the Jewson Eastern Counties League title that they narrowly lost to Histon in 1999/2000.
